 EXPERBfENTS WITH SPEING WHEAT. 



(No.X-IlUUGATEU.) 



Sixteen varieties of spring wheat were tested. They were sown on backsetting. 

 The yields in all cases were atTected by tlie drought in late May and early June. 

 The crop ripened unevenly on account of the second grov.'th, and the quality of the 

 grain produced was injvired more or less liy the presence of immature green kernels. 

 Only the named varieties are reported upon.
